Creative VJ – Make music for your eyes!
Details
The two-day intensive course is led by Phil Rust (AKA Rebel Overlay). Introducing the skills involved with VJing, Phil will clarify the process of working with VJ specific hardware and software to produce content, and use it in a spontaneous and dynamic way. Learners on this course will look at the basic techniques of VJing, as well as tips and tricks to quickly become self sufficient at creating, experimenting and performing with visuals.
In addition, organisation methods and codes of practice will be suggested to give learners a head start for when interacting with musicians, promoters and venue managers. A big part of being a successful VJ is about working as a team with other players in the clubbing and live arts industries.
Wikipedia on Vjing – “VJing is the creation or manipulation of imagery in realtime through technological mediation for an audience, in synchronization to music” or a better definition “Make Music for Your Eyes”!
